鈥淚t is a place where imagination comes alive through the use of VR and AR,鈥 said , dean of University Libraries. 鈥淭he Portal will provide students from any discipline and background with the opportunity to learn about and help shape the future of their respective fields.鈥
Magic Leap is a Florida-based technology company that has developed a spatial computing platform that seamlessly integrates digital into your physical environment.聽

鈥淎s new technologies continue to mature, it鈥檚 crucial that students get the opportunity to be involved in bringing their ideas to fruition,鈥 said Rose. 鈥淲e want to give everybody the chance to apply their creativity and personal experience toward the development of this new medium.鈥
The Portal was opened in partnership with the 鈥檚 Machine Perception & Cognitive Robotics (MCPR) laboratory. The MCPR lab is led by co-directors and and educates students from high school to Ph.D. studies in the cutting-edge techniques of artificial intelligence.聽
鈥淰R and AR are going to be transformative technologies across many disciplines and industries, but the vast majority of students have never directly experienced these technologies while an even smaller number have had a chance and to actively engage with them and develop with them,鈥 said Barenholtz.聽
The Portal is connected with the聽Rubin and Cindy Gruber Sandbox聽which will expand the MCPR lab in the library. The 3,400-square-foot collaborative resource center is set to open in spring 2020.聽
